$10M offered to shuttle services
San Mateo County transit officials seek traffic reductions
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo County transit officials are call-
ing all commuter-serving shuttle providers as
$10 million will soon be up for grabs for pub-
lic agencies with plans to help alleviate con-
gestion.
The San Mateo County Transportation
Authority and City/County Association of
Governments are expected to offer support to
shuttles that serve as a critical last-mile con-
nection for those looking to ditch their cars,
said Joel Slavit, the TAs manager of pro-
gramming and monitoring.
Shuttles play an important role in the
overall transportation network. They fill a
gap in the SamTrans fixed route service, they
provide a critical first- and last-mile connec-
tion to other forms of transit, Slavit said.
They also provide a vital link for folks who
may be transit dependent in terms of commu-
nity-serving shuttles for basic living needs,
medical appointments, shopping or dining
within the local community.
The allocation is part of a two-year pro-
gram that supports shuttles, which last year
carried nearly 1.2 million passenger trips in
this county. While normally receiving less
attention then larger operators, shuttles can
play an important role along the Peninsula
where east-west mass transit options are lim-
ited and numerous job centers arent located
near BART or Caltrain stops.
The TAs Board of Directors approved the
plan to allocate $9 million in countywide
sales tax dollars toward shuttles with the
C/CAG board expected to approve its $1 mil-
lion contribution this week.
Now, the TA is issuing a call for proposals
from public agencies; private entities, such
as business parks, can partner with govern-
ment agencies to propose shuttles. Prior

Passengers have likely ranged from beachgo-
ers on the coast and local students to Menlo
Park shoppers and workers heading from
mass transit stops to corporate office centers,
according to the TA. Most of the shuttles are
free for passengers, while a few charge. The
benchmark for consideration is a spending
ratio of $8 per passenger trip. Those with
routes for two or more years that fall below
that benchmark may have to put up 50 per-
cent matching funds, while others are usually
required to match 25 percent of the TAs con-
tribution, Slavit explained.
This fiscal year, the costliest shuttle is the
city-sponsored Menlo Park Shoppers service
that appears to be spending nearly $51.59
per passenger and serving the fewest. The
most efficient is a SamTrans route that goes
from BARTs San Bruno station to a nearby
business park and runs about $2.44 per pas-
senger, according to the TA.
The TAs contribution is funded through
Measure A funds, a countywide half-cent sales
tax voters extended in 2004 and dedicated
toward transportation.
Since it began doling out money for its
shuttle program in Fiscal Year 2011-12, the
TA and C/CAG have awarded $23.8 million to
a variety of providers. This fiscal year, theres
about 40 shuttles and some of the most popu-
lar routes include the Brisbane Crocker Park
shuttle that runs from BARTs Balboa Park
Station to Caltrains Bayshore stop, South
San Francisco BART shuttle and the Skyline
College Express running from BART to Daly
City, according to the TA.
But the TA is also looking for new opportu-
nities to get more people to their destinations
while reducing solo vehicles, said TA
spokesman Dan Lieberman.
We want to get as many ideas as possible
so we can get the best ideas possible to do
whatever we can to reduce traffic, Lieberman

said while urging people to consider apply-
ing. Those interested in applying are invited
to an informational workshop Monday, Dec.
18, before applications are due Feb. 9. The TA
and C/CAG boards are expected to consider
approving projects in May 2018.
The different types of shuttles are commu-
nity serving, commuter serving and door to
door. Currently, most are on a fixed route and
the only on-demand service the TAs program
supports is the Menlo Park Shopper shuttle,
which can be requested for door-to-door pick-
up in advance. When asked about the rise in
on-demand services including shuttles like
Chariot which has crowd-sourced routes,
Lieberman and Slavit noted its about provid-
ing people with a variety of options.
They are all part of the transportation
solution. The more choices the commuter
has, the more convenient it may be for them
to take transit as opposed to being alone in
their own car, Slavit said.
Regionally, transportation officials have
sought to make taking mass transit options
whether its a public bus or private corpo-
rate shuttle more desirable. Efforts include
various entities looking to construct a net-
work of managed lanes on local highways and
bridges that are free to carpoolers or shuttle
riders.
Lieberman and Slavit noted while shuttles
might not be for everyone, its an option for
many and benefits others on the road as well.
Its more cars off the road, Lieberman 11:45 p.m. Monday, Dec. 11.
said. Its a matter of having all those
options available so people can seriously
consider relying on transit completely.

firefighters on Wednesday continued

some communities are still at risk and
could be in greater danger if unpre-

Warnings of ideal conditions for wild-

winds and lack of moisture, with a pos-

Three carjacking suspects arrested
after crashing at country club
San Mateo County sheriffs deputies
arrested three carjacking suspects who
crashed a vehicle at a country club in
Millbrae early Wednesday morning.
According to sheriffs spokesman
Detective Salvador Zuno, California
Highway Patrol officers were involved in a
pursuit that ended at 2:45 a.m. when the
three suspects crashed a vehicle at the Green
Hills Country Club at 500 Ludeman Lane in
Millbrae.
Sheriffs deputies responded to the scene
and searched for the suspects. The search
lasted about 90 minutes until all three sus-
pects, two women and one man, were found
and taken into custody, Zuno said. Their
names were not immediately released.
No injuries were reported. Further details
were not immediately available.
Two women found dead
in possible murder-suicide
Two women were found dead Wednesday
morning in East Palo Alto in what police
are investigating as a possible murder-sui-
cide.

Eight months jail
for Redwood City burglary
A man who was caught posing with items
stolen from a Redwood City home in an
Instagram post in 2016 was sentenced to
eight months in county jail and three years
probation Wednesday, according to the San
Mateo County District Attorneys Office.
Jawan Thompson, 20, pleaded no contest
to felony residential burglary in June,
admitting to his involvement in three bur-
glaries of the same home in 2015 and 2016,
according to prosecutors.
After cash, clothing and purses were
stolen from the same Redwood City house
twice in October of 2015, the homeowners
daughter noticed an Instagram post in
which Thompson and Brittany Thomas, 20,
were posing with purses stolen from her
home, according to prosecutors.
On Jan. 13, 2016, Thompson texted the
homeowner to make sure she wasnt home
after she posted photos of some of her pos-
sessions online. Items were stolen from the
home after someone entered it through an
unlocked window, and the homeowner
texted Thompson telling him he was caught
on tape, according to prosecutors.
The homeowner then contacted police,
who contacted Thompson and Thomas and
found some of the stolen property in
Thomas possession, according to prosecu-
tors.
Thomas pleaded no contest to felony pos-
session of stolen property in February and
was sentenced to two years probation and
30 days in county jail after her conviction
was reduced to a misdemeanor, according to
prosecutors.
Seven displaced after Pacifica fire
A two-alarm blaze that damaged two
Pacifica homes Tuesday afternoon also dis-
placed seven people, including an infant,
according to fire officials with the North
County Fire Authority.
At about 3:15 p.m., firefighters respond-
ed to the blaze at 139 Catalina Ave.
There, firefighters found heavy smoke
coming from the back of a two-story home.
Firefighters then noticed that the blaze had
extended to the house next door at 135
Catalina Ave., according to fire officials.
Firefighters first searched the home at
139 Catalina Ave. and rescued two dogs,
both which suffered from smoke inhalation.

to one of the dogs and successfully resusci-
tated it at the scene.
Firefighters were eventually able to con-
tain the blaze at 139 Catalina Ave. to the
homes rear upper and lower rooms. The rest
of the home, however, sustained smoke
damage.
Firefighters also contained the blaze at
the home next door, 135 Catalina Ave., to a
rear enclosed patio, fire officials said.
The four people who lived at 139 Catalina
Ave. were displaced, but were able to make
arrangements for temporary housing. The
two people and infant who lived at 135
Catalina Ave. were also displaced.
No injuries were reported in the fire,
according to fire officials.
A cause for the blaze remains under inves-
tigation.
Man gets five years for shooting
during drug deal gone wrong
A 20-year-old man has been sentenced to
five years in prison after pleading no con-
test Tuesday to felony assault charges after
shooting a drug dealer in Daly City during a
narcotics transaction gone wrong last year.
Jordan Manuel Perez met with the 24-
year-old victim near a residence on Vendome
Avenue on Aug. 24, 2016.
When an argument broke out, Perez pulled
out a gun and shot the dealer once in the
abdomen before fleeing the scene.
The victim wasnt initially cooperative,
but eventually allowed detectives to search
his phone and they identified Perez as a sus-
pect. The victim eventually identified Perez
during a photo lineup.
He pleaded no contest to felony assault
with a firearm charges, admitting also to an
enhancement for the infliction of great bod-
ily injury.
Perez is going in to his five-year sentence
with 546 days credit for time served.
Defense attorney Mark Camperi said he
and his client are pleased with the results of
the plea agreement.
Wed like to thank the district attorney
and the court for its professionalism and
consideration in the facts of this case,
Camperi said.
Celebrations planned to
honor San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee
SAN FRANCISCO People will be able
to pay their respects to San Francisco
Mayor Ed Lee on Friday, when his body
will lie in repose at City Hall. The casket
will be closed.
City officials will also honor Lee with a
memorial celebration on Sunday at City
Hall.
Lee died Tuesday after collapsing at a
supermarket Monday night. The citys
first Asian-American mayor was 65. No
cause has been given for his death, though
an autopsy is pending.
Lee was a civil rights activist and long-
time city bureaucrat who presided over a
period of remarkable economic growth but
deepening economic disparity in San
Francisco.
He was elected in 2011 and 2015 after
being appointed to serve the remainder of
former Mayor Gavin Newsoms term in
2011.
San Jose approves tiny
home plan to tackle homeless
SAN JOSE Officials in San Jose have
approved a pilot program to build 40 so-
called tiny homes for homeless people to
address a growing problem in one of the
most expensive rental markets in the
country.
At a meeting Tuesday night, the city
council voted 9-2 to approve the plan to
build micro sleeping cabins, which could
eventually be expanded to include all 10
council districts.
The Mercury News of San Jose reported
that an angry group of homeowners turned
out to plead against the plan, which they
say will bring blight and health concerns.
The tiny sleeping cabins come with a
large sticker price, though: more than
$73,000 each for 40 units.

own partys scandal-plagued candi-

not well in a party confronted with
new rounds of infighting and a sud-
denly shrinking Senate majority
heading into next years midterm

A semi-humbled President Donald

He said he would have liked to have

But he also acknowledged, A lot

Republicans criticize Muellers
probe, but want him to stay
By Mary Clare Jalonick,
Tom LoBianco and Sadiie Gurman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON House Republicans
ratcheted up criticism of special counsel
Robert Muellers probe into Russian med-
dling Wednesday, questioning whether there
was bias on his team of lawyers but stopping
short of calling for his firing or resignation.
The criticism directed toward Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein at a House
Judiciary Committee hearing comes after the
release of anti-Donald Trump text messages
exchanged between two FBI officials later
assigned to the Russia probe. While
Republicans on Capitol Hill are unlikely to
support Muellers removal, some appear to
be laying the groundwork for suggesting the
results of the investigation will be unfairly
partisan.
House members focused on the hundreds of
text messages between an FBI counterintel-
ligence agent and an FBI lawyer. Those mes-
sages, which occurred before Mueller was
appointed in May to investigate potential
coordination between Russia and the Trump
campaign, show the officials using words
like idiot and loathsome human to char-
acterize Trump as he was running for presi-
dent in 2016. One of the officials said in an
election night text that the prospect of a
Trump victory was terrifying.
Republicans also focused on past dona-
tions to Democrats made by some members
of Muellers team.
How, with a straight face, can you say
that this group of Democrat partisans are
unbiased and will give President Trump a fair
shake? asked Republican Rep. Steve
Chabot of Ohio.
Rosenstein defended Mueller. When asked
by lawmakers if he had seen good cause to
NATION
fire Mueller, whom he
appointed and whose
work he oversees,
Rosenstein replied that
he had not.
The special counsels
investigation is not a
witch hunt, Rosenstein
said in response to ques-
Robert Mueller tions about whether he
agreed with Trumps char-
acterization of the probe. The independence
and integrity of the investigation are not
going to be affected by anything that any-
one says.
Critics of the probe may win praise from
Trump, who has been pressured by some
allies to push back. But there is still little
appetite on Capitol Hill to have Mueller
removed.
South Carolina Republican Trey Gowdy,
who is leading investigations into Democrat
Hillary Clinton and leaks from the Russia
probe, ticked through the text messages in
prosecutorial style at Wednesdays hearing.
But he also said he doesnt want Mueller
removed.
I think there are prosecutors he could
have found that had not donated to major
political candidates I wish he had found
them, Gowdy said. But ultimately this
comes down to facts, and Im going to give
him the benefit of the doubt until otherwise
necessary.
The sentiment is similar across the
Capitol, where both Senate Judiciary
Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senate
Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard
Burr said in interviews Wednesday they con-
tinue to have confidence in Mueller. The two
committees are leading their own investiga-
tions into Russian interference in the elec-
tion.

Omarosa leaving White House

WASHINGTON Omarosa Manigault
Newman the former Apprentice contest-
ant who became one of President Donald
Trumps most prominent African -American
supporters was escorted off the White
House grounds after resigning her post as a
presidential adviser.
White House press secretary Sarah
Huckabee Sanders said Wednesday that
Manigault Newmans last day will be Jan.
20, one year since Trumps inauguration.
We wish her the best in future endeavors and
are grateful for her service, Sanders said.
Manigault Newman was an assistant to the
president and director of communications for
the White House Office of Public Liaison,
working on outreach to various constituency
groups. But the office languished under her
watch and White House chief of staff John
Kelly had indicated that changes were forth-
coming, including her dismissal, according
to two White House officials who insisted on
anonymity because they were not authorized
to speak publicly about personnel matters.
Better known by just her first name,
Manigault Newman was escorted from the
White House complex Tuesday night but was
allowed to tender her resignation. The U.S.
Secret Service, which provides security for
the president, tweeted Wednesday that it was
not involved in her termination or her escort

from the grounds. Some published reports
said Secret Service officers had physically
removed Manigault Newman from the com-
plex.
The agency confirmed that a pass granting
her access to the complex had been deacti-
vated.
Our only involvement in this matter was
to deactivate the individuals pass which
grants access to the complex, the agency
tweeted.
Manigault Newmans exit comes at the
front end of whats expected to be a wave of
departures. Deputy national security adviser
Dina Powell is also departing early next
year, the White House said last week.
Manigault Newman, who drew a top salary
of $179,700, was one of Trumps highest-
profile supporters during the campaign. She
also worked with Trumps transition team.
A former contestant on the first season of
The Apprentice, Trumps former reality TV
show, Manigault Newman had long been
unpopular with several senior West Wing
officials, including senior adviser and Trump
son-in-law Jared Kushner and White House
chief of staff John Kelly.
Kelly, the retired Marine general who had
made it is mission to tighten White House
operations and streamline how Trump gets
information, has told aides that he wanted to
curtail the number of White House officials
with ill-defined positions and responsibili-
ties.

Kentucky lawmaker facing
assault allegations kills himself
FRANKFORT, Ky. Dan Johnson, a Republican state
lawmaker in Kentucky known for inflammatory Facebook
posts comparing Barack and Michelle
Obama to monkeys and who defiantly
denied allegations that he sexually
assaulted a teenage girl in the basement
of his home, killed himself Wednesday
night. He was 57.
Bullitt County Sheriff Donnie Tinnell
said Johnson shot himself on a bridge in
Mount Washington, Kentucky. Tinnell
Dan Johnson confirmed the death to WDRB-TV in
Louisville.
Johnson was elected to the state legislature in 2016, part
of a wave of Republican victories that gave the GOP control
of the Kentucky House of Representatives for the first time
in nearly 100 years. He won his election despite Republican
leaders urging him to drop out of the race after some of his
racist Facebook posts came to light.
The pastor of Heart of Fire church in Louisville, Johnson
sponsored a number of bills having to do with religious lib-
erty and teaching the Bible in public schools. But he was
mostly out of the spotlight until Monday, when the
Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting published an
account from a woman saying Johnson sexually assaulted
her in the basement of his home in 2013.
At the time, the woman told police about the incident,
who investigated but closed the case and did not file charges.
Bombing underscores NYC
subway systems vulnerability
NEW YORK The crude pipe bomb that exploded beneath
the streets of New York this week served as a chilling
reminder of the vulnerability of the citys subway, a 24-
hour-a-day operation with 472 stations and more than 5 mil-
lion daily riders.
While police say the nations largest subway system has
some of the tightest security possible that still allows busy
New Yorkers to get where theyre going, they acknowledge
they cant be everywhere or anticipate every kind of attack,
particularly in this era of lone-wolf terrorism.
Its very difficult and its getting harder, John Miller,
the New York Police Departments deputy commissioner of
intelligence and counterterrorism, said on CBSs This
Morning. This is not the al-Qaida model, where a cell of
people who are communicating with a base are an intelli-
gence problem. Instead, he said, the threat is coming from
people where the conspiracy is within the confines of their
own mind.
Investigators say that appears to be what happened
Monday, when a Bangladeshi immigrant indoctrinated into
terrorism through Internet videos strapped a bomb to his
body and set it off in a busy passageway.

Indexes close mostly higher after Fed rate hike
By Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The major U.S. stock indexes
finished mostly higher
Wednesday, with small companies
notching big gains as lawmakers
in the House and Senate reached a
deal on a sweeping tax reform
package.
The Dow Jones industrial aver-
age eked out its third record-high
close in as many days, driven by a
jump in Caterpillar. But a last-
minute pullback in bank stocks
left the Standard & Poors 500
index slightly lower.
Packaged food and beverage
stocks, health care companies and
industrials shares accounted for
much of the markets modest
gains. Banks struggled as long-
term bond yields edged lower,
which makes it tougher for banks
to earn money from lending.
The decline in financial stocks
came even as the Federal Reserve
raised its benchmark rate for the
third time this year. The move,
which was widely expected, came

By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The Federal
Reserve is raising its key interest
rate for the third time this year and
foresees three additional hikes in
2018, a vote of confidence that the
U.S. economy remains on solid
footing 8 1/2 years after the end of
the Great Recession.
The Fed said Wednesday that its
lifting its short-term rate by a
modest quarter-point to a still-low
range of 1.25 percent to 1.5 per-
cent. It is also continuing to slow-
ly shrink its bond portfolio.
Together, the two steps could lead
over time to higher loan rates for
consumers and businesses and
slightly better returns for savers.
The central bank said in a state-
ment after its latest policy meet-
ing that it expects the job market

further. Partly as a result, it
expects to keep raising rates at the
same incremental pace next year
under the leadership of Jerome
Powell, who will succeed Janet
Yellen as Fed chair in February.
The Feds action was approved
7-2, with Charles Evans, president
of the Feds Chicago regional
bank, and Neel Kashkari, head of
the Minneapolis Fed, voting no.
Both preferred to keep the bench-
mark rate unchanged.
The central banks message
Wednesday departed little from its
recent statements. It still stresses
that it expects to keep raising
rates gradually. Its projections for
future hikes, based on estimates of
16 officials, showed that the medi-
an expectation remains three rate
hikes in 2018, at least two in
2019 and two more in 2020.

schedule maker wasted little time
in matching the 2016-17 Bay
Division co-champions as the
Carlmont and Aragon boys soccer
team opened the 2017-18 season
against each other in San Mateo
Wednesday.
Both coaches, however, were
quick to point out that this years
squads are nowhere near the levels
attained last season at least not
right now. Carlmont coach Will
Stambaugh said he was down six
starters Wednesday, while Aragon
coach Greg Markoulakis lost to
graduation his top ve goal scor-
ers from a year ago, while at the
same time he is trying to develop a
number of underclassmen who will
step into major roles next season.
So, perhaps it was appropriate
that the teams battled to a 1-1 draw
in Wednesdays opener.
Considering our state (of
injuries) Im pleased (with the
draw), Stambaugh said.
Snatching a point, other than
winning all three (that come with a
win), thats the best result.
Both teams scored their goals in
the rst half as the second half was
played mostly in the mideld, with
neither team having any really
good looks at taking the lead.
I hate when we play each other
so early, Markoulakis said,
adding he and Stambaugh are good
friends. Overall, it was a decent
effort. Not our best.
The pedestrian second half was a
far cry from the opening 40 min-
utes as the teams took turns pres-
suring the opposing defenses.

Stanford volleyball Martinez meets and
in loaded Final Four greets; Ozuna to Cards
By Dave Skretta
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Its difcult to call
a volleyball program that has been to the
Final Four eight times an underdog, especial-
ly the way Florida rallied to beat Southern
California and punch its latest ticket.
Yet of the four schools descending on the
Sprint Center in Kansas City this week, the
No. 2 seed Gators (29-1) without question
have the shortest resume of them all.
And that says a lot about their competi-
tion.
Start with third-seeded Stanford (30-3),
which is back in the Final Four for its NCAA-
best 21st appearance and seeking its eighth
national championship. Then go to top-
seeded Penn State (33-1), which is playing in
its 13th seminal and also going for an
eighth title. And throw in fth-seeded
Nebraska (30-4), which merely has four
national championship trophies at home.
Yikes.
Weve been so close, said Gators coach
Mary Wise, whose team had been to three
regional nals before rallying to beat the
Trojans last weekend and return to the Final
Four for the rst time since losing the 2003
title match. Its an opportunity and you want has a chance to see in person what his mon-
to take full advantage, no regrets.
If nothing else, the Gators should be used
to playing Pac-12 foes.
They knocked off UCLA and Southern
California to reach their seminal match
Thursday night against the Cardinal and their
star, Kathryn Plummer. The reigning champi-
ons, meanwhile, swept Texas to reach the
Final Four in back-to-back years for the rst
time since going to three straight from 2006-
08.
Dont think the Gators are intimidated,
though.
Weve got two more matches, Florida star
Rhamat Alhassan said, referring to the semi-
nal and the title match Saturday night.
Thats a great way to go out at the end of
your season.
Another good way to go out? How about

Tour de France champ
Froome fails doping test
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS Chris Froome failed a doping test during the
Spanish Vuelta in September and is facing a suspension
from cycling ahead of his attempt to win a record-equaling
fifth Tour de France title next year.
Froome won his fourth Tour title this
year and followed it with a victory at the
Vuelta. But Team Sky said Wednesday that
Froome, who has not been suspended, had
a concentration of asthma drug salbuta-
mol two times higher than the World
Anti-Doping Agencys permitted levels.
Team Sky said it has been informed by
the International Cycling Union that the
Chris Froome urine test was taken on Sept. 7, during the
three-week Spanish Vuelta.
Froome said the UCI has asked him to provide information
about the failed test, which was taken after Stage 18.
Froomes use of asthma medication has been well docu-
mented, and the Kenyan-born rider has often been spotted
using inhalers in the peloton. He has repeatedly faced ques-
tions on whether he is a clean rider, especially during the
Tour de France, and has always denied wrongdoing.

Raiders trying to focus on stretch run

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA The anger over a lopsided
loss in Kansas City that crushed Oaklands
playoff hopes and raised questions about
how a team could come out so flat in such an
important game has finally simmered.
The Raiders know they cant do anything
to change the result against the Chiefs,
which sent them from being in control of
the AFC West race to needing lots of help to
even get a chance at the postseason.
I think were all pretty upset, quarter-
back Derek Carr said Wednesday. If youre
not, then youre obviously not putting
enough into it. If youre wanting to point a
finger or those kind of things, I dont think
that thats right either. If youre upset with
yourself and youre upset that you didnt win
the game, I still stand by how I felt, man. I
was hot to be honest. I put way too much
effort into this to go out there and not play
my best.
Carr was not alone in struggling in the 26-
15 loss to the Chiefs that left the Raiders (6-
7) one game behind Kansas City and the
Chargers in the AFC West and one game out
of the final wild-card spot with three games
to play.
Oakland fell behind 26-0 until scoring two
late touchdowns and was thoroughly out-
played on both sides of the ball in the loss
to the Chiefs.
We went out there and laid an egg last
weekend, left tackle Donald Penn said. We
have to make it better this week. That shows
you what true men are, how we bounce back
from this. We laid an egg last week. I cant
wait to get back out there and play another
game and try to put some good stuff out there
and get a win. I dont want to just sit here and
sulk all week. That wont do my any good.
The Raiders spent Tuesday hashing over
the loss as they usually do before turning
attention to this weekends game against
Dallas. A win against the Cowboys would
get Oakland back to .500 but the Raiders
will almost definitely also need wins the
final two weeks at Philadelphia and the
Chargers to have any chance at the postsea-
son.
Even winning out to get to 9-7 may not be
enough, with eight teams already having
seven wins this season.
For us, its about get-
ting ready for the next
one, coach Jack Del Rio
said. Whether were
being praised or were
being attacked, that does-
nt matter. Thats just the
noise on the outside, but
Jack Del Rio inside the building were
being very purposeful of
getting back to work.
Improving the offense will be a key this
week. Oakland struggled to move the ball at
all until late in the previous game and an
offense that came into the season considered
one of the most potent in the league has had
few break-out performances.
The Raiders have been held under 20
points seven times already this season and
have topped 30 points just twice. With a
strong offensive line, Carr, running back
Marshawn Lynch and two receivers who
topped 1,000 yards last season in Michael
Crabtree and Amari Cooper, scoring wasnt
supposed to be an issue this season.
But that hasnt been the case as Carr has
struggled to push the ball downfield, the run-
ning game hasnt had enough opportunities
and the offensive line hasnt been quite as
strong.
Del Rio said the key is just to let it rip
and not think too much about making mis-
takes.
Carr said hes ready to do just that but
acknowledges he needs to strike a balance.
Thats always going to be a struggle, any
quarterback, for your whole life, he said.
But, its again that fine line that we always
talk about. Do you really throw that one
when youre deep down and you shouldnt,
those kinds of things, but then it comes
back to easy things. Easy progressions,
easy things, man, just letting those goes
fast. Play faster, dont think so much, man,
just play.
NOTES: WR Amari Cooper (ankle) did
not practice. ... TE Clive Walford and OL Jon
Feliciano remain in concussion protocol. ...
The Raiders placed LB Cory James on injured
reserve with a knee injury. ... DL Darius
Latham was promoted from the practice
squad. ... DL Joby Saint Fleur was signed to
the practice squad.

Garoppolo gears up for first home start with 49ers

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA The San Francisco 49ers circled up in their
locker room last Sunday moments before taking the field at
Houston and Jimmy Garoppolo spoke up to challenge his
teammates.
Play relentless! Be violent! he demanded.
Eli Harold heard the words and they fueled him. Only later did
it dawn on the linebacker it had been his
starting quarterback speaking, someone
accustomed to taking those punishing
violent hits.
We just need the energy to be up and
keep getting the pregame speeches from
Jimmy, because they seem to work, Harold
said.
This is the quarterback saying these
ter for his natural leadership tendencies, a pedigree groomed
during his time as Tom Bradys understudy in New England.
I think any time you get an opportunity to hang around
someone and just watch their process and how they go about
their job, especially someone like Tom, where you have the
guy whos arguably the best of all time and has had an unbe-
lievable career, I think its been great for Jimmy to watch how
he carries himself and how basically when youre a quarterback
youre almost CEO of the company to a certain degree, coach
Kyle Shanahan said.
I think people look at Tom that way. Theres just this certain
way to act and handle things and talk to people. Jimmy is very
good at that stuff. Im sure it helped getting to watch someone
whos probably the best at it.
He does now have one thing straight when it comes to how
the Niners fans identify themselves. Garoppolo got that tip via
group text from a few friends the other day reminding him hed
better get the nickname right. People take that stuff seriously.
ent because hes not in a hostile environment. What makes it
happen for him is the other 10 guys around him. Weve got to
block for him, the receivers have got to catch for him, the
backs got to block. Its not just the Jimmy show.
San Francisco (3-10) sure could use some momentum on its
home field, too, following consecutive road wins and only one

to go out there and play.
San Francisco went out and beat the Texans 26-16.
Garoppolo threw for 334 yards and a touchdown, while Harold
had two tackles and a sack.
Now, the Niners need more from Garoppolo to both keep his
team going in a lost season to build toward 2018 and energize
a frustrated fan base.

USSF says eight running for president
CHICAGO The U.S. Soccer Federation
says it received the required three letters of
nomination for eight candidates in its presi-

people who announced their intention to run.
The USSF is conducting background checks
on the candidates whose nominations were

that a candidate has no conviction or no con-

of sorts. Aragon was called for offside 12 times
eight coming in the rst half alone.
The rst half, the trap was the game plan. I
was hoping to get [their] strikers frustrated,
Stambaugh said of his defensive strategy. It
was enough to get them unbalanced.
Five of those offside calls came in the rst 10
minutes for Aragon (0-0-1, 2-1-3), as it seemed
every attack was thwarted by a raised ag from
the assistant referee on the sideline.
[The offside trap] was killing us,
Markoulakis said. [Stambaugh] is the mas-
ter.
But Markoulakis did not completely absolve
his forwards.
There is no excuse for the offside player (to
be offside), Markoulakis said.
Once the Dons gured out the timing, how-
ever, their offense was off to the races. If not
for solid play by the Scots backline and a
strong effort from goalkeeper Jason Korjeff
who nished with seven saves in the rst half,
the Dons might have won the game going
away.
And yet it was the Scots who got on the
scoreboard rst as Aragons nonchalance with
the ball in its defensive end resulted in the rst
goal of the game. The Dons defense held on to
the ball too long and it eventually turned into a
turnover on which Jon Deridal capitalized. A
left fullback who pushed up into the attack,
Deridal seemed to be as surprised as anyone
when the ball popped into space behind the
Aragon defensive line. Deridal alertly pounced
on the ball and, with only the goalkeeper to
beat, deposited a shot in the back of the net in
the ninth minute to give Carlmont a 1-0 lead.
Carlmont had another opportunity three
minutes later when the Dons, again, failed to
clear the ball in a timely manner, but this time
goalkeeper Jesus Lopez was there to make the
save.
Lopez nished with six saves for the game.
Midway through the rst half, the Dons

Sunil Gulati, the USSF president since

nally gured out the Scots offside trap and it
opened up the attack as the Dons would go on
to take eight rst-half shots, seven of which
were on frame.
I think Carlmont got a little tired and their
backline collapsed a little, Markoulakis said.
Korjeff couldnt save Sergio Zavala
Sanchezs blast of a shot in the 20th minute,
however, as the Dons equalized off a set piece.
Awarded a free kick along the left sideline deep
in the Carlmont end, Zavala Sanchez swung a
cross into the Scots penalty box, where
defender Zane VanArsedel tried to head the ball
clear.
His clearance only managed to get as far as
the top of the penalty box before Aragons
Epigmenio Rodriguez came ying in and head-
ed the ball back into the mixer. Nearly every-
one was pushing up out of the penalty box
before Rodriguez stepped up and Johan
Braanemark alertly ran onto the ball and carried
it to the end line.
Just before going out of bounds, Braanemark
pulled a pass back across his body to the mid-
dle of the suddenly empty penalty box where
Zavala Sanchez, who had started the play with
the cross, looped around and hammered home
his shot from 15 yards out to tie the score at 1.
That goal seemed to energize the Dons, who
spent the nal 20 minutes of the half putting
intense pressure on the Carlmont goal as a
Lupe Hernandez bid to give Aragon the lead was
pushed aside by Korjeff in the 35th minute.
Carlmont had one more golden scoring
chance in the nal moments of the rst half
when VanArsedel slotted a perfect pass through
the middle of the Aragon defense to a streaking
Dro Avetian, who had a step on his defender and
only the goalkeeper to beat.
But Lopez came off his line aggressively to
close down the angle and Avetian eventually
shot wide.
It was the last, true goal-scoring opportunity
for either side.
The biggest difference between last year and
this year is the striking prowess, Stambaugh
said. The striking is not there (yet this year).

Swarm chasers return wayward honeybees to hives
By Dean Fosdick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When half or more of your honeybees
have deserted the hive and are lingering
nearby, who ya gonna call? Swarm chasers
can provide quick help to fellow beekeep-
ers, keeping them from getting stung liter-
ally and financially.
A swarm is the division of the honeybee
colony into two parts, said Donald Lewis,
a professor and Extension entomologist
with Iowa State University. One part of the
colony will stay where theyll continue to
grow, reproduce and make honey. The swarm
leaves the colony in search of a place to set
up elsewhere.
Swarming generally occurs because the
colony is crowded, or it could be caused by
genetics, Lewis said. There is a predisposi-
tion in some bee strains that makes it more
likely for them to do that, he said.
Sometimes, its simply a matter of a new
queen pushing the old queen out. The old
queen would go with the swarm, taking half
the existing colony and all the honey they
can carry when they depart, Lewis said.
A swarm generally flies a short distance
and then hangs out on tree limbs, stop
signs, the side of a house or perhaps in a
playground. Theyll wait for the scouts to
return and tell them where their new loca-
tion will be, Lewis said.
The likelihood that a swarm can become a
thriving feral bee colony depends primarily

on where their new home is, Lewis said.
Here in the Midwest, if the swarm cannot
get inside a protected location, theyre not
likely to make it through the winter.
Beekeepers can prevent losing a colony
by dividing it ahead of time; by re-capturing
Thursday Dec. 14, 2017 17
the swarm cluster and placing it in a new
hive; or by buying a honeybee variety
known for its low tendency to swarm, Lewis
said.
If youve lost or simply spotted a swarm
cluster, it may pay to find someone who, for
a price or simply a new strain of honeybees,
is willing to round them up.
Dan Maxwell, a beekeeper from Freeland,
Washington, frequently responds to calls
requesting help to remove swarms.
I only work with honeybees, Maxwell
said. He wont deal with swarms that have
collected too high (15 feet or more) or that
are enclosed in ceilings, crawl spaces and
brickwork like fireplaces. Those cases are
too much work, and it can be messy with
brood and honey, he said.
Swarm clusters on limbs or branches can
easily be dropped or shaken into a box,
Maxwell said. He often uses a vacuum with
an adjustable suction setting that doesnt
harm the queen or worker bees.
Unless provoked, bees seldom sting
when they swarm, he said. Swarms are usu-
ally not in the stinging mode because they
have gorged themselves on honey to start
the new hive.
If you do see a swarm, dont panic, throw
rocks at it or spray it with an insecticide,
Lewis said.
These are beneficial insects, he said.
You dont have to needlessly kill them.
Simply give them a wide berth and chances
are, theyll be gone in a day or two.

Dates for the legal proceedings are yet to
be determined, but both school officials
and the builder are ready for the courts to
begin hearing the case.
We are hoping this can be expedited. We
just want to be done with this whole night-
mare, said Rudy Sultan, the Northern
California director for USS Cal Builders. A
lot of contractors, companies and commu-
nities are really hurt. We just need to collect
our money, pay our contractors and move
on.
School officials too welcomed the start
of the lawsuit, according to district
spokesman Ryan Sebers.
The South San Francisco Unified School
District is pleased that its cross-complaint
against USS Cal Builders, Inc. will finally
be heard in San Francisco Superior Court,

No decision was made during the meet-
ing, as officials offered feedback on the
proposal ahead of it beginning the envi-
ronmental review process.
Plans include spreading the 259, 717
square feet across two conjoined buildings
proposed in a C-shape, abridging Easton
Creek which runs through the 6-acre parcel.
The largest building would house more
than 169,000 square feet of office space and
the restaurant. The smaller building would
house almost 70,000 square feet of office
space and the retail space.
Much of the project is designed to appear
as a glass shell, so as to emphasize the
propertys placement along the Bayshore,
LOCAL
together with the dozen other lawsuits USS
Cal Builders, Inc. and its many subcontrac-
tors have filed against each other, accord-
ing to an email from Sebers.
South San Francisco officials parted ways
with Sultans firm last year following
claims of shoddy craftsmanship, numerous
project delays and continued unresponsive-
ness to concerns expressed by school offi-
cials, among other issues.
Following the districts decision, Sultan
said officials stopped payments required
under terms of the construction contract,
leaving his company out in the cold for a
variety of payments already distributed to
contracting companies, plus additional
fees due.
As a result, his company is suing the dis-
trict for breach of contract worth $2.7 mil-
lion; $8 million for completed, unpaid
work; plus millions more in delayed pay-
ments, change orders and additional
charges.
Sebers though contested the builders
allegation that the district owes any addi-
tional payments, and instead claims the
and enhance its relationship to the nearby
water and Bay Trail, said architect Noberto
Nardi. It also carves out a substantial por-
tion of the property to be preserved as open
space, available to the public.
Considering the projects proximity to
the strand of Burlingame hotels, some com-
missioners suggested the center could fit
among the other local large buildings.
Kelly went so far as suggesting he
believed the design should set a precedent
for future Bayfront development.
I think its the right mix of ecological,
commercial and pedestrian uses that should
be the standard of the Bayfront going for-
ward, he said.
Other commissioners were not so quick
to endorse it though, claiming the project
could compound a variety of future issues
tied to development in the citys share of
the shore east of Highway 101.
As dramatic as this building is, as excit-
school system is due financial relief.
The district denies that USS Cal
Builders, Inc. is entitled to any further pay-
ments from the district on the Measure J
projects, he said. The district is seeking
recovery of damages for defective construc-
tion, delays, incomplete work and improp-
er change order requests.
Financing for the work was initially due
to come from the districts $162 million
Measure J bond fund, which was found in
2015 to have been overdrawn to the tune of
nearly $11 million.
The first phase of bond work included
building a new science wing at El Camino
High School and construction of five new
buildings at Alta Loma Middle School.
Following an independent audit detailing
the financial woes, relations between the
builder and district started to fray. Officials

this is the right building at this time, said
commission Chair Peter Gum.
Work is underway south of the proposed
development site on construction of a large
commercial project designed to build
767,000 square feet of office space and
other amenities at the citys former drive-in
theater site. Adjacent to that site, interest
has been expressed in developing property
owned by the State Lands Commission into
a hotel. North of the proposed site, sports
entertainment enterprise Topgolf is slated
to move into the citys driving range.
Gum noted officials are also in the midst
of reviewing the citys General Plan, which
could establish new development standards
for the Bayshore. Considering the transfor-
mative period for Burlingame, he ques-
tioned the appropriateness of weighing
such a large project.
City Attorney Kathleen Kane responded
the proposal should only be subjected to
THE DAILY JOURNAL
phase of promised work.
Sultan claims the district was aware of the
financial woes far ahead of the independent
audit, and can present documentation that
the budget strife was worsened by officials
seeking additional work.
He said the process has been difficult for
the builder, its contractors as well as the
rest of South San Francisco.
The whole thing was a mess that eventu-
ally the community suffered from and is
still suffering from, he said.
Sultan added he wished the process could
have been resolved without reaching the
courts, which ultimately could have saved
all parties substantial legal fees and time.
Ultimately this decision cost them so
much money, and its not done yet, he
said.
Meanwhile, Sebers said officials are pre-
pared to allow the process to play out in the
courtroom.
The district looks forward to resolving
this dispute on the evidence presented, he
said.
the citys existing development regula-
tions, and that its impact in conjunction
with other projects will be considered dur-
ing the environmental review process.
Following tweaks to the initial proposal,
which include trimming one story off the
plans and devising a parking management
strategy, Commissioner Richard Terrones
suggested he was comfortable with the
design.
Im in support of the project. I like
where it has come and I like the work that
has been done, said Terrones, whose senti-
ment was echoed by Kelly as well as fellow
commissioners Sandy Comaroto and
Michael Gaul.
Loftis and Gum, meanwhile, sternly criti-
cized the designs, and Commissioner
Richard Sargent maintained reservations as
well.
I think Im leaning toward support, but
there is a long way to go before we have a
complete project to evaluate, he said.

SALON
Continued from page 1
and Sherry Mays shut down regular
operations at the salon they own at
1349 Laurel St. to welcome residents
from Hope House, a homeless shelter
in Redwood City, to breakfast, free
hair services and a day of self care.
Comparing hair color samples and
watching as their friends received new
hair cuts and colors from the mother-
daughter duos team of stylists, resi-
dents of the shelter filled the small
salon with chatter and excitement for
their new looks despite the less cheer-
ful circumstances that may have drawn
them to the shelter.
For Keith Sanders, who only moved
week, said the trip to the salon lifted
his spirits as he adjusts to his new
home. A former Daly City resident and
retired chef, Sanders is applying for
affordable housing to better manage
his expenses as he also looks for work
as a security guard.
I just appreciate that theyre doing
the service, he said.
Coming to Hyatt and Mays studio to
get his mustache trimmed brought
back for Sanders memories of helping
his cousins with shaves when he was
growing up in Honduras. From his
background in food service, Sanders
said he knows how good it can feel to
be served, adding that he was really
looking forward to getting a proper
shave Monday after some 30 years of
grooming himself.
Though Hyatt and Mays have run
their business in San Carlos for some
seven years, their penchant for giving
back during the holidays dates back
some 23 years. Hyatt said they have
partnered with the San Mateo nonprof-
it Terrys Home to identify a homeless
shelter to work with each year and
gather clothing items and other acces-
sories they can give to clients while
they wait for their turn. She added with
the cost of living going up so high in
Silicon Valley, going to a salon to get
their hair done is a luxury many cant
afford.
Weve been doing this for years,
just make somebody else happy and to
try to give them what they want, she
said.
Terry Adams, founder of Terrys
Home, said the holidays can be a sad
time for some of the clients who may
not have family nearby or celebrations
to attend.
Sometimes, its not all about the
presents, she said.
So she, Hyatt and Belmont resident
Carolyn Hoskins partner up with local
businesses to provide clients with a
meal, clothing, accessories and a lot
of holiday cheer when they come by
Hyatts studio.
Though Hoskins has been setting up
dozens of Christmas trees up in an
empty lot in Redwood City for years,
she said she always makes time to set
up one more in Hyatts salon for their
annual event to spread holiday cheer to
their clients.
Thats what it takes, she said.
Everybody working toward the same
cause.
Kimberley Whalin said she hasnt

been to a salon in some 20 years, mak-
ing her especially excited to get a new
hair style shell feel good about wear-
ing down for her Dec. 23 wedding,
instead of pulled up in a bun like she
normally does. She said she and her
fianc have been living in the shelter
for the past year as they searched for
affordable housing, which they finally
found just a few weeks ago. Though
shes gotten a small break from her job
at The Home Depot in San Carlos to
prepare for her wedding, she said her
schedule has been packed with the
preparations, making her especially
grateful for a few hours with a stylist.
This has come at the perfect time,
she said.
Whalin was accompanied by her
friend Marie Heisch, who was looking
to get her hair colored for the first time
before Whalins big day. Heisch was
pleased to find a new winter coat and
scarf among the clothes Hyatt, Adams
and Hoskins collected as well since
hers had been stolen recently. She said
she and a group of Whalins friends
have been collecting funds for a night
in a hotel after her wedding, a short
honeymoon before she starts work
again at the end of December.
Were doing what we can, she said.
Where theres a will, theres a way.
With 34 years behind her as a styl-
ist, Hyatt said the days when she and
her friends open the salon up to those
who dont always get a chance to spend
time on their hair are the most memo-
rable.
To be able to give is far more
rewarding than receiving, she said.
This is one of the best days of the
year.

Ron Johnson, R-Wis. is especially important to residents of high- Schumer predicted that the politically

TAX BILL
Continued from page 1
and weaker, and the American people grow
stronger, Trump said at the White House.
This is for people of middle income, this is
for companies that are going to create jobs.
This is for very, very special people, the
great people of America.
The business tax cuts would be perma-
nent, but reductions for individuals would
expire after a decade saving money to
comply with Senate budget rules. In all, the
bill would cut taxes by about $1.5 trillion
over the next 10 years, adding billions to
the nations mounting debt.
The legislation, which is still being
finalized, would cut the top tax rate for the
wealthy from 39.6 percent to 37 percent,
slash the corporate income tax rate from 35
percent to 21 percent and allow homeown-
ers to deduct interest only on the first
$750,000 of a new mortgage.
The top tax rate currently applies to
income above $470,000 for married cou-
ples, though lawmakers are reworking the
tax brackets.
The standard deduction would be nearly
doubled, to $24,000 for married couples.
Details of the agreement were described
by Republican senators and congressional
aides.
Its not my vision of the perfect, but
again, this is definitely going to be a
strong pro-growth tax package, said Sen.
Republicans see passage of the legisla-
tion as a political imperative, proving to
voters they can govern as the GOP fights to
hold onto its majorities in the House and
Senate. Republicans said they expect the
package to increase economic growth, gen-
erating additional tax revenue and lessening
the hit to the budget deficit. Independent
economists arent as optimistic.
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said
she and her colleagues expect a modest
lift to economic growth from the tax pack-
age.
Yellen said at a news conference the like-
lihood of lower taxes is why Fed officials
expect the economy to grow at 2.5 percent
in 2018. But growth would then slip back
closer to its recent 2 percent average.
She said that any wage growth would like-
ly stem from the low unemployment rate
rather than the tax cuts.
Negotiators have removed several contro-
versial provisions from the tax bill, includ-
ing one that would have eliminated the
deduction for interest on student loans and
another deduction for medical expenses,
said two congressional aides.
Also, the bill would no longer start tax-
ing graduate-school tuition waivers, said
the aides, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not author-
ized to publicly discuss private negotia-
tions.
The tax bill would scale back the deduc-
tion for state and local taxes, allowing fam-
ilies to deduct only up to a total of $10,000
in property and income taxes. The deduction
tax states like New York, New Jersey and
California.
Business owners who report business
income on their personal tax returns would
be able to deduct 20 percent of that income.
The bill would repeal the mandate that
most Americans get health insurance, a pro-
vision of the 2010 health care law.
Republicans suffered a humiliating defeat
this past summer when they were unable to
dismantle the health care law after seven
years of promises. Scrapping the individual
mandate would provide them with more than
$300 billion for deeper tax cuts while under-
mining the law.
Senate leaders plan to vote on the pack-
age Tuesday. If it passes, the House would
vote next. GOP leaders hope to send the bill
to Trump before Christmas.
Lets not waver now lets not give in
to the Washington status quo not when
tax reform is so close, said Rep. Kevin
Brady, R-Texas, chairman of the tax-writing
House Ways and Means Committee.
The measure has come under assault by
Democrats who say it is unfairly tilted in
favor of business and the wealthy.
Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer said
the public doesnt know all the details of the
bill, but they smell whats going on and
that is tax cuts for the wealthiest and no
help for so many in the middle class.
unpopular bill would drag down
Republicans in next years congressional
elections. I believe theyll pay a very
steep price for this bill in 2018, he said.
The agreement was reached hours before a
joint House-Senate conference committee
met in public for the first time. The commit-
tee is charged with blending the tax bills
passed by the House and Senate, though
Republicans have done all of their negotia-
tions behind closed doors.
Democrats have not been included in any
substantive talks on the bill.
The full details will be unveiled by the end
of the week, Brady said.
Once the plan is signed into law, workers
could start seeing changes in the amount of
taxes withheld from their paychecks early
next year, lawmakers said though tax-
payers wont file their 2018 returns until
the following year.
The IRS said in a statement Wednesday
that taxpayers could begin seeing less
money withheld from their paychecks as
early as February. The agency said it was
taking initial steps to prepare withholding
guidance for employers, which it expects to
issue in January.
Corporate tax cuts would take effect in
January, allowing businesses to immediate-
ly write off the full cost of capital invest-
ments.
